Six horses eat 12 bales of hay in 12 hours. At the same rate, how many hours will 36 bales of hay last 12 horses?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
JG say: If six eat 12 bales/12 hours, or 1 bale/hr each horse eats 1/6 bale/hr
12 horses will eat 12/6 bales/hour or 2 bales/hour
36 bales /(2 bales/hr) = 18 hours
-
Emon say: - Each 18 horses eats 2/3 of bale of hay
Tutor. 18*2=36; 36/3 = 12. Or 18 / 3 = 6; 6 * 2 = 12
Thank you So much!

Amy say: 6 horses eat 12 bales of hay in 12 hours.

12 horses eat 24 bales of hay in 12 hours.

12 horses eat 36 bales of hay in 18 hours.

Mysteri say: Fudge you that’s how many.

Como say: -
Horses_____bales_____hours
6____________12________12
12___________36_______(6/12) (12/36) x 12 = 12/6

Will last for 2 hours

Φ² = Φ+1 say: Six horses eat 12 bales of hay in 12 hours.
Twelve horses eat 12 bales of hay in 6 hours. (Double the number horses, so half as much time.)
Twelve horses eat 36 bales of hay in 18 hours. (Triple the number of bales, so triple the time.)
-
Puzzling say: If you double the number of horses (from 6 to 12), the food will last *half* as long. So divide by 2 for the number of horses.

But if you triple the amount of food (from 12 bales to 36), it will last *three times* as long. So multiply by 3 for the number of bales.

12 hours / 2 * 3
= 18 hours

Answer:
The food will last 1½ times as long or 18 hours.

az_lender say: Six horses will eat 36 bales of hay in 36 hours, so 12 horses will eat 36 bales of hay in 18 hours.

Answer: 18 hrs

Mog say: 36x2=72

billrussell42 say: if six eat 12 bales/12 hours, or 1 bale/hr
then 12 will eat 2 bales/hr

36 bales / 2 bales/hr = 18 hours
-
sparrow say: If each horse eats 2 bales per hour, then the 12 horses will eat 24 bales in 12 hours.
That leaves 12 more bales left over. 24 + 12 = 36.
So then you'll have 12 horses left with 12 bales.
Since it take 12 hours for each horse to eat 24 bales, then it should take half that long
with half as many bales. So half as long is 6 hours, plus the original 12 hours, and that
equals 18.

Philomel say: 6h eat 1 bale/h. each h eats 1/6 bale/h. 12h eat 2 bales/h, 36/2= 18 h.
-
Jacob say: they will eat all of the hay in 18 hours
-
sepia say: Six horses eat 12 bales of hay in 12 hours.
18 horses can eat 36 bales of hay in 12 hours.
12 horses can eat 36 bales of hay in 18 hours.
At the same rate,
12 horses will eat 36 bales of hay in 18 hours.
-
la console say: 6 horses eat 12 bales of hay in 12 hours → you multiply by 3 the bales, so you multiply by 3 the time

6 horses eat 36 bales of hay in 36 hours → you multiply by 2 the horses, so you divide by 2 the time

12 horses eat 36 bales of hay in 18 hours


It takes 18 hours.
-
Grundoon say: Break down the basic statement

6 eat 12 in 12hrs

1 eat 2 in 12hrs

1 eat 1 in 6hrs

One bale of hay will last one horse six hours.

The rest is easy
-
Morningfox say: Each horse eats 2 bales in 12 hours. So 36 bales will last one horse for 18 times that, or 216 hours. Then 12 horses will eat up 36 bales in 1/12 of 216 hours, or 18 hours.
-
boy boy say: 72 hours
-
say: 6 12 12
12 36 (6/12)(12/36)(12)= 2 hours for 12 horses to complete 36 bales
-
Bryce say: 12/(6*12)= 1/6 bales/(horse*hr)
36/(12x)= 1/6; x= 18 hours
